Chicken and prosciutto tortellini

Hey,

On Sunday the family were over for tea (dinner, depending on geography) and I made a roast chicken.

No picture sorry.

As my partner isn't a fan of soup or stews...but likes broth...go figure! And I didn't want the rest of the bird to be wasted I had to get a little creative.

So yesterday I cooked the what was left of the bird in a slow cooker on high for 4 hours.

I then strained the liquor into a clean pan and picked the meat off the bones.

I chopped up the meat, combined it with diced prosciutto and some creme fraiche to bind.

I used that to fill bitesize tortellini which I served with the reduced liquor and a few drops of truffle oil.

The pasta take a little while to put together but it was all pretty quick and easy....and cheap!

Would you do something with your roast carcass? Or does it all go in the bin?

Take care.

Pasta. Beautiful Pasta

Hey,

I was spending sometime falling through youtube this afternoon and I was pleasently surprised to find an amazing video on pasta, rather than...the dark side.

For any keen cook this video by Bon Appétit is a great watch!

It doesn't teach you how to make pasta dough. (This is really simple - I may do a video on a quick how to sometime in the future).

What this video does is show you how to roll, stretch, and shape your dough into one of the ridiculous number of pasta shapes which exist.

Seriously. If you like pasta, you need to check out the link below.

PASTA!
